Hello.We're sad to report that we've had to cancel the Longwave show in the UK. Drummer Mike James has been injured since mid March and we've used a replacement drummer. We had hoped that Mike's injured shoulder would have healed by now, but the doctor has told him that he's still sore and the combination of flying overseas and playing a show will set him back some months. Our replacement drummer is not available to play, so we've been forced to cancel. We hope to announce a new date soon.
Thanks and apologies
Jim the manager
